The Struggle from 1969 to 1976 of Mao Zedong and his Political Allies against the Attempts of the Revisionist Forces in the CCP and PLA to Reverse the Socialist New Things and the Revolutionary Internationalist Foreign Policy brought forward by the Cultural Revolution

This document was written by a comrade of Mass Proletariat. It provides
a comprehensive account of the struggles internal to the dictatorship of the
proletariat in China in the late Cultural Revolution and how these struggles
were reflected in the foreign policy of the Chinese Communist Party. The questions that lie at the heart of this paper are what political line for developing socialism and what foreign policy are needed to advance the class struggle in socialist countries and on the global scale in order to work towards communism? And, because of the primacy of internal contradictions,
how is this foreign policy a reflection of the class struggle in a socialist
society?

Introduction: The First Stage of the Cultural Revolution

Some of the most important political features of domestic policy in the first
phase of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1969 include:

(1) In 1957, Mao made a path-breaking analysis that classes and class struggle
would continue and take new forms in socialist society. In the “Sixteen Point
Decision” of the Central Committee published on August 8, 1966, Mao identified
the capitalist-roaders in the leadership of the CCP as the primary target of
the Cultural Revolution.1
